Blyton has captivated children worldwide for almost 80 years, but there has been very little serious critical attention paid to her. This book remedies this, looking particularly at her three most popular and well-known series, Noddy, the Famous Five and Malory Towers. It is the first study to draw extensively on the views of her readership, past and present, and to use a wide variety of critical approaches to show how adult criticism has consistently missed the secret of her appeal.

Reading the Child in Children's Literature: An Heretical Approach

An essential text that provides students with a dynamic, sophisticated and controversial look at the critical representation of the child in children's literature, arguing for a more open and eclectic approach: one that celebrates the diverse power, appeal and possibilities of children's literature. Drawing on psychoanalytically informed perspectives, David Rudd shows students how theory can be both exciting and liberating. This is a thought-provoking supplementary text for modules on Children’s Literature or Literary Theory which may be offered at the upper levels of an undergraduate Literature degree. In addition it is a stimulating resource for advanced students who may be studying children’s literature or literary theory as part of a taught postgraduate degree in Literature.

David Rudd takes a lively and controversial look at the critical representation of the child in children's literature, arguing for a more open and eclectic approach: one that celebrates the diverse power, appeal and possibilities of children's literature. Drawing on psychoanalytically informed perspectives, Rudd shows how theory can be both exciting and liberating. He offers fresh and stimulating close readings of key texts, ranging from established classics – such as Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan and Winnie-the-Pooh - to more modern works, including novels (Peter Pan in Scarlet and The Children's Book) and picture books (Zoo¸ The Missing Piece and Where the Wild Things Are).Sophisticated yet highly approachable, this is an essential read for anyone with an interest in the study of children's literature.
